Know Your Rights & Your Risks Under the FLSA
The FLSA establishes strict requirements around minimum wage, overtime pay, and employee classification. Most non-exempt employees are entitled to time-and-a-half for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Yet disputes often arise over who qualifies as “exempt,” whether time was recorded correctly, or whether bonuses and commissions were calculated fairly into overtime rates.
If you’re an employee, underpaid overtime isn’t just unfair; it’s a violation of federal law. You may be entitled to back pay, liquidated damages, and attorney’s fees.
If you’re an employer, a single claim can trigger audits, class actions, reputational damage, and significant financial exposure. You need more than a defense; you need a strategy.
Insight from Both Sides of the Courtroom
Cadogan Law represents both sides of wage and hour litigation in Florida state and federal courts and in proceedings before the Department of Labor.
We offer:
- For employees - Relentless pursuit of unpaid wages, including back pay, penalties, and compensation for retaliation if you were punished for asserting your rights.
- For employers - Smart, proactive defense to wage claims, audits, or litigation. We help you address the dispute head-on while protecting your business and minimizing liability.
We know the technical traps that can catch even diligent employers off-guard and how to challenge weak defenses when representing workers. This cross-functional insight allows us to anticipate moves before they happen.
